Can the Attorney, given his view that this matter should not be dealt with in isolation, provide us with any information about when he is going to act on it not in isolation? Your government has promised time and time again that this issue would be dealt with. Why should the Labor Party or anyone else not pursue this case by case, as you have indicated you want to consider it? At other times you say that, when it is done case by case, it is being done in isolation. I do not understand the government’s position to be consistent at all. Could the Attorney explain when action is going to be taken?
